Frithsden Construction , a family run business specialising in quality highend residential homes , completed a stunning , Georgian period-style new build with heritage vertical sliders supplied by Quickslide .

The beautiful 5,500ft ² , five bedroom brickand-block build in Little Gaddenden , Herts , was created over three floors using Flemish handmade

bricks for the outer wall – just one example of the attention to detail paid to the design . In-keeping with this , Quickslide supplied heritage wood grain-effect vertical sliding sash PVCu windows for the project . Frithsden originally wanted timber windows , before discovering the wood grain effect PVCu sash made a great , energy efficient , secure and low maintenance modern alternative .

Frithsden Construction – and its husband-and-wife team Anthony and Julie Hayes - have been buying from Quickslide for five years , and highly recommended Quickslide on completion of the project , not just for its quality products , but for the whole

buying process , which they commended as being straightforward and easy – particularly praising their sales manager , Jess , for being very helpful and always available for any queries or advice .

cost-effective than comparable products .
